AP Chemistry – Summer Assignment 2021-22 Ernest Righetti High School Science Department AP Chemistry – Policies & Summer Assignment 2021-22 KEEP THIS PAPER! Notebooks/Notes – All students should maintain a notebook with notes and a place for handouts. Notebooks may be collected for grading this year, so organization is important and maintaining work is critical. Daily review of notes and problems will help master the content before the exams. Keep all AP work and assignments until August of 2019 after you have received both your ERHS grades and your AP scores. Classroom Expectations – Enter the room quietly and ready to turn in homework and begin the lesson. Be in your seat quiet and ready before the bell rings. Say good bye to outside class friends before coming in to the room, even during the passing periods. Be in your seat, prepared, with positive attitude and a willing ness to TRY before the tardy bell rings. At the conclusion of the period, the instructor will excuse you, not the ringing of the bell. Please be in your seats demonstrating readiness for dismissal. During laboratories, appropriate lab safety clothing and shoes as well as other safety apparatus must be worn at all times. Labs are a time for investigation, not socialization, so please remain focused on the task at hand. Remember that while lab duties are often shared, each student must maintain his/her own lab report and original work. Help maintain a distraction-free working/learning environment by not talking during them. Be ready to respond to questions appropriately. Your personal belongings including work for other classes, make up, cell phones, and food should remain away during class time. Chemistry classrooms have vapors and precipitates that are not good to come into contact with food. PLEASE CONSUME AND LEAVE YOUR UN-PACKAGED FOOD outside of chemistry class!J Help keep the classroom and laboratory safe and clean and only write on your personal belongings. Laboratory materials may become the financial responsibility of the student when checked out for use. Be careful with the equipment! AP EXAM- The object of this course is to prepare students to take the College Board’s Advanced Placement Exam in Chemistry in May of the academic year. The exam is 3 hours & 15 minutes long and contains 60 multiple choice questions worth 50% of the score and 7 free response (3 long answer and 4 short answer) questions that are combined worth 50% of the score. An overall score is assigned 1-5. Scores of 3-5 are considered passing by colleges and universities which will assign unit credits for such scores. Students will be given periodic table resources, formula sheets, and may use an approved scientific calculator on the free response portion only. Check out the college board’s website for information about the test. It is expected that as a student who has signed up for this AP class, you are planning to take the exam. Fee waivers may be available from the business office to qualifying students. The district has funded AP exams in the past couple of years, but plan to pay until word is announced that the fee is covered. LABORATORY SAFETY – Students will receive a laboratory safety contract in the beginning of the year that outlines proper chemistry lab safety procedures and equipment. Students and parents will be asked to acknowledge receipt and understanding of those guidelines. In general…LAB SAFETY IS ALWAYS NUMBER ONE! Please fill out and return the portion below to the instructor before June 7. Keep the above for your notebook. DO YOUR SUMMER ASSIGNMENT AND BE READY WITH IT THE FIRST DAYS OF SCHOOL! J Cut along the dotted line and return the stub to your instructor before June 7 or sign and submit a picture of your filled out form via Remind or email! ---------------✁-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As a student of AP Chemistry, I have read the expectations and am committing now to follow through with my studies. I acknowledge my responsibility to complete my summer assignment and work to make a positive contribution to my studies in chemistry. I will make every effort to learn and prepare chemistry for the AP exam.
